Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 1058 Doi Hasumi is having a great time

After entering the house, Lin Ze gave Okamura Tadamasa a wink.

Sure enough, at the next drinking session, Okamura Tadamasa was much more polite, and even put his arm around Hanaya Tadashi's shoulder and drank two glasses of wine with him.

From Okamura Tadamasa's perspective, it was Hanaya Masashi who was disobedient and a bit rebellious, and he had to teach him a lesson on behalf of his older brother. When he went out just now, Hanaya Masashi must have apologized to his older brother. Didn't you see his older brother giving him meaningful glances?

From Hanaya Masashi's perspective, Okamura Tadamasa had indeed interfered with the business outside the Great Wall. In order to ensure the smooth flow of trade routes, the people outside the Great Wall had reached some kind of agreement with the people in the Red Zone. Therefore, Okamura Tadamasa was very dissatisfied with his arrest this time. Fortunately, Master Lin reminded him in time!

After the meal, everyone was in high spirits, and both Okamura Tadamasa and Hanaya Masashi were quite drunk.

After leaving the military police headquarters, Hayashi Sawa escorted Okamura Tadamasa to a restaurant before returning home.

The next morning, Gao Shengping called.

"Shengmin, I'm speechless! I'm truly convinced, both outwardly and inwardly!"

"Director, what are you saying?"

"Hehe, Shengmin, I won't stand on ceremony. I'll host a banquet at Zhengyanglou Restaurant today!"

Lin Ze thought for a moment, "Then I'll take someone with me."

"Shengmin, who did you bring?"

“Okamura Tadamasa, the son of the General.”

"Fuck!"

.............

I still couldn't go for a drink with Lao Gao at noon. Around 10 a.m., the people from Jinling set off again from Tianjin, heading straight for Beiping. Old devil Okamura arranged for Doi Hazumi, Kitahara Ransuke, Hayashi Sawa and others to prepare for the security and welcoming work at the station.

Old Gao, of course, couldn't stay idle either. He always loved to show off, and now that Beiyuan and the others would be there in person, he naturally had to lead his men to patrol and stand guard near the station.

After noon, a special train pulled into Zhengyangmen Station.

After the car came to a smooth stop, the staff opened the car door.

The first person to come out was a man in military uniform with the rank of major general. Needless to say, this was Toyotomi Kiyoto.

Toyotomi, that old fellow, spent his entire life working in the staff system, a role that was neither loved nor cared for by anyone, so he always quite enjoyed going on official business.

Those who don't fare well in their own unit but hold some nominal positions due to their age and seniority all like to go on official business trips.

He was a major general without real power. He was nothing special at the headquarters of the expeditionary army, but when he went elsewhere, people had to treat him with the respect due to a major general. Generally speaking, he was quite well received.

So when Toyotomi Kiyoto got out of the car, he very impolitely stretched his body and waited for the people who came to greet him to salute and say hello.

He had already twisted his waist twice and stretched his shoulders, but he still hadn't heard a sound.

He frowned and squinted as he looked ahead.

He saw Doi Hazumi, who was wearing the rank of lieutenant general, smiling at him.

Toyotomi Kiyoto was shocked. It was him?!

Toyotomi knew Doi Hasumi, after all, Doi Hasumi was quite well-known as a "traitor" to the dispatched army.

Regardless of whether he was a traitor or not, he was now a lieutenant general. Toyotomi quickly stood up straight, saluted, and bowed. "I didn't expect Doi-kun to come and greet me personally. I am so sorry for my rudeness!"

Doi Hazumi is having a great time.

His departure from the Expeditionary Army Headquarters to join the North China Area Army was, frankly, not a glorious move.

The less glamorous they are, the more obvious their fanatical devotion to the faith becomes.

He desperately needed to prove to his former colleagues that Nanjing was not as good as North China, and that they were not as successful as he was.

Therefore, Toyotomi's respectful bow at this moment perfectly satisfied this psychological need.

Kenji Tanabe, who was following behind Toyotomi Kiyoto, was very unhappy.

Toyotomi was just there for show, but he was really there to investigate the case!

They've already lost all their momentum. How can they possibly maintain any initiative on someone else's turf?

He stood there without moving, but Doi Hasumi spoke up, "Toyotomi-kun, who is this person behind you?"

Kenjiro Tanabe gritted his teeth, bowed his head, and said, "Kenjiro Tanabe, Commander of the Central China Area Army's Military Police Headquarters in Nanjing, greets Lieutenant General!"

"Yosh, that's great spirit!"

Both sides exchanged greetings, and Lin Ze even gave a special greeting to Li Shiqun.

Unexpectedly, Li Shiqun was quite enthusiastic, grabbing Lin Ze's hand, "Commander Lin, I heard from Mo Cun that you took good care of him when he came to Tianjin on official business last time. This time..."

Li Shiqun meant, "Isn't this about food? Why are you here too?"

Lin Ze smiled and said, "I just happened to be in Beiping to report on official business to Your Excellency. When you arrived in Tianjin, I was unable to personally greet you. Now that you have arrived in Beiping, I must greet you no matter what."

Li Shiqun was in a great mood!

They're very particular, especially our colleagues in the North!

In officialdom, welcoming and seeing off guests is itself a part of the activity.

"Commander Lin, you are too kind. I am truly unworthy of such praise. If I have some free time outside of official duties, I would like to have a long chat with you. I would be honored if you would grace me with your presence!"

"Not at all, I should be the one asking Minister Li for advice. I might stay in Beiping for a few more days, there will definitely be an opportunity."

When Tanabe Kenzai spoke with Lin Ze, Lin Ze was equally enthusiastic. Tanabe had heard of this Commander Lin from Tianjin to some extent, and when he saw how young he was, he was filled with admiration. The two chatted for a while, mostly about counter-espionage.

Finally, Kenji Tanabe astutely asked, "Regarding this grain negotiation..."

Lin Ze looked bewildered. "Grain negotiations? What grain negotiations?"

Tanabe Ken was finally relieved.

It seems that the North China military officers sent to greet us were just out of courtesy. Their real dealings are with the North China Governing Committee. That's good, that's good!

After leaving the station, the group checked into the Six Nations Hotel, where a welcome dinner was held that evening.

The next day, Kenji Tanabe went to ask Kiyoto Toyotomi for instructions, "Major General, now that we've settled in, shouldn't we invite the people from the North China Governance Committee to come and have a talk?"

Toyotomi Kiyoto, ever the non-stick pan, carefully chose his words: "The General Headquarters of the Expeditionary Army is only coordinating this matter. I am just a staff officer and don't understand administrative affairs. However, whoever can handle this matter well will have accomplished a great feat. Colonel Tanabe thinks we should talk today, so let's call them over to discuss it."

Tanabe was helpless in the face of this old fox, but the old fox was right. If this matter could be resolved, it would be a great achievement. Well, whoever wants to make a contribution can do it!

He then looked at Li Shiqun, "What does Director Li think?"

Li Shiqun thought to himself, "Yesterday, Commander Lin addressed me as 'Minister Li,' but with you, it's just 'Director Li.' 'Minister Li' sounds much better than 'Director Li'!"

"I have no objection, but it's up to Colonel Tanabe to decide."

Tanabe Kenji gave him another deep look, a hint of disdain and ruthlessness flashing in his eyes, but a smile appeared on his lips. "Since you don't object, then let's invite the people from the North China Governance Committee to have a talk."

P.S. Sorry for the long wait. Updates have been gradually resuming recently, but the timing and frequency will be unstable. Unfortunately, I still can't sit for long periods and need to follow the doctor's advice and get plenty of rest. So, you can also accumulate some time and let the book rest. Also, the short drama adapted from this book, "The Young Master of Yanjing, Code Name Golden Buddha," is now available online. Those interested can check it out.

Thank you all for your support. I will get back to normal as soon as possible.
